August Truckin'

I'm loving these fun vintage trucks!
Aida took a nice long nap earlier so I was able to get quite a bit done today. If she's awake, I spend half my stitching time tossing toys!
All play, all day!

I hope everyone had a great weekend! We've been super busy here so it was nice to be able to sit and stitch for a change. I need to do some serious restructuring of my days so I have more time for the things I love to do!

Truckin' Along

September Truckin' Along
by Stitching Housewives
 
For once I feel like I'm ahead of the game with a September finish in August! This project has been languishing in my WIP pile for a few years. I know I was working on it when Aida was a puppy because the pattern corners have all been chewed on and the thread was a tangled mess! I learned to keep everything tucked away!

I've already been looking for my next project. I know I should stick to finishing my WIPs but it's so tempting to start something new! Maybe one of each?

Have a great weekend!

Move In Ready

I'd love to have a little housewarming party and invite you all over but it may be a little cramped inside. We could hang out in the garden but Hurricane Debby has left it a bit of a shambles. We'll have to make do with a couple of photos for the time being.

Aida has been reminded several times that even though it looks like a toy, she is not allowed to play with it. Strictly paws off!

The sun is actually trying to come out so I think Aida and I are going to take a quick look-see at the yard and get a start at picking up some of the mess. I took a chance and left my plants on the patio and a couple of them took a beating. We'll have some trimming and tending to do but they should bounce back.

I hope everyone is warm and safe and dry!
